Weekend BP: Lowlight of the Week

Good morning, baseball fans! We have reached the point of this San Francisco Giants season where it’s not really worth finding the silver linings. Everything about this season is crap in a crap sandwich that someone left outside in the heat. So instead of highlights of the week, this week I thought we’d all pick […]

Stand Your Ground: The Ivan Herrera Story

It was a cool morning in Jupiter, Florida, this past February, and as was his custom, Brant Brown had arrived at the Cardinals training facility early enough to get in a workout before the chaos of spring training ensued.

Orioles news: A welcome return home for the Birds

Good morning, Camden Chatters. It’s nice to be back home, isn’t it?

While one win over a reeling Nats team […]

Do not adjust your screens: Jimmy Herget is still glitching along for the Rockies

Jimmy Herget’s season looks ordinary until you start pulling it apart. The ERA says middle relief. The whiffs, strike-throwing, pitch shapes, and post-IL work suggest something more useful.

White Sox Minor Keys: June 26, 2026

When the White Sox gave 19-year-old Jaden Fauske a full-season assignment at Low-A Kannapolis to start out the year, they weren’t expecting to see all the results they want for him right away. Even Fauske himself mentioned “a constant process of failing and then learning from it” as one of the things he’s enjoyed about… The post White Sox Minor Keys: June 26, 2026 appeared first on Sox Machine .

Why is José Caballero getting caught stealing?

When it comes to stolen bases, José Caballero ranks among the best in the business.
